The Light and Proximity delivers a compete optical sensing solution combining an Ambient Light Sensor for adjusting system settings based on ambient conditions, such as backlight strength to optimize power consumption, with three IR based emitters for use in proximity detection. The Osram ALS product drives the IR emitters directly with modulated patterns, so that it is easy to combine the multiple inputs and determine basic up / down, and left / right type gestures up to a range of several centimeters above the board.

This board is compatible with all of the AVR Xplain Series of controller boards offering a wide choice of AVR controllers for your solution.

Software
Sensors Xplained software support is available for all the supported sensor devices. The drivers work in conjunction with AVR Studio 5 and the Software Framework versions 2.5 and higher.
